Table 3 Effect of opsonisation on internalisation of M. hyopneumoniae (pMHGFP-P97) by porcine alveolar macrophages

From: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae evades phagocytic uptake by porcine alveolar macrophages in vitro

Serum

Average number of intracellular M. hyopneumoniae (pMHGFP-P97)

Preimmune

3 ± 0.5 (36 PAMs)

A

3 ± 0.8 (24 PAMs)

B

3 ± 0.5 (24 PAMs)

C

3 ± 0.3 (38 PAMs)

Heat-inactivated foetal bovine

2 ± 0.4 (35 PAMs)

  1. Standard error of the mean ± is shown, the number of porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) analysed is shown in parentheses. Sera A, B and C are convalescent M. hyopneumoniae serum, heat inactivated bovine serum served as the control.
